Editorial Feedback

PAYING FOR DMV JOBS? There was mention in the Oct. 16 editorial, "Our roads, our future." that if we say no to the tax hike, no large number of politicians will go back and try to take on a road project. Actually it said, no "sane" ones. Well, no sane ones would have put it in referendum. It is interesting to note that the largest number of layoffs for the state at this time happens to be in the Department of Motor Vehicles. Is this referendum just to keep their jobs? Will we really get new roads?

A 'NO' VOTE. Reference Oct. 27 editorial, "Our roads, our future." You can't sell the plan, you can't give away the plan, you can only pan the reasons the public will not accept the plan. The people who wrote the plan, the plan results, the plan funding, the plan economics are all suspect. Vote "no" and let's start sweeping the rascals from office.
